Alleigh Burrows is a passionate writer and reader of
romance novels. Her first book, Dare to Love, is now available. Grab your copy!

DARE TO LOVE Blurb

The only tangible benefit Dare Landis
has of finally claiming the title of Marquis of Raynsforth will be that the
current marquis has finally gone to the Devil where he belongs. Until then,
Lord Landis will continue to enjoy life on his own terms…as a heartless rake
who’s beholden to no one.

Nivea Horsham knows there’s more to Dare than he reveals to the world.
She’s loved him since her older brother brought his ridiculously handsome
friend home from school all those years ago. But getting him to notice her has
proven to be an impossible endeavor.

Can Nivea shatter Dare’s carefully crafted facade and show him how to
love?

Alleigh Burrows loves romance novels. For years she tore
through anything she could find—mainly regency romances, but would never pass
up a hot Navy SEAL, an overbearing Scotsman, or shape shifting feline.

After reading a particularly intriguing series, she decided
she, too, could write a romance novel. How hard could it be? She had worked in
communications for years. So, she started writing Dare to Love while working
full-time and raising two teenagers. Not surprising, it was slow going.

Fast forward five years. The kids go off to college, and she
was finally able to dedicate time to her husband, her cat, and her writing.

They
walked through the shadows individually. Will they emerge into the light
together?

Leading a vagabond life as a curator for a traveling
photography exhibit translates to a lot of bad days for Rikki Salerno. But her
trouble doubles when a careless high school student shoves her into a marsh.
Being rescued by teacher Sam Kerrigan should have made things better, but
Rikki’s inability to confess her true identity casts a shadow over their
budding affair.

When Sam refuses an overly aggressive parent’s
marriage proposal, she’s determined to ruin him. Not only does she doctor
photos to make it look like Sam’s behaved inappropriately in front of students,
she hacks the foundation website to reveal Rikki’s true identity. Faster than
the blink of a shutter, Rikki’s focus changes from pursuing her full-color
future to the black and white necessity of clearing Sam’s name.

Excerpt:

Sam’s attention wandered
yet again off the homework papers he was supposed to be correcting. The
universal law of gravitation wasn’t nearly as riveting as the memory of Rikki
Salerno wearing a purple jacket and tight running shorts in the early morning
sunlight. He’d resisted the urge to wrap her in his arms when he’d run up on
her in the park that morning. A fiery halo had lit her hair, glints of red
winking in her messy ponytail. The sight of her when she turned back toward
town and ran ahead of him! He’d have been happy to follow her for all
twenty-six miles of a marathon. But, his need to talk to her overruled his
desire to watch her spectacular behind, so he’d quickened his pace to catch
her.

Rikki had tensed when
he’d started ranting about Marguerite Sims. Without knowing how, he’d made her
angry again. He didn’t understand it, but she seemed defensive when he’d made
disparaging remarks about her boss. He was going to have to watch his comments
about the pampered princess when he was around Rikki.

And, if wishes did come
true, there would be a whole lot of around
Rikki time. Her image in his mind’s eye—exotic, interesting, and
intriguing, all wrapped up in one sexy package…. He fidgeted in his hard
teacher’s chair, suddenly uncomfortable with the tightness of his khakis. Thank
God, there weren’t any students in the room. That’d be a hell of a thing to
explain to a bunch of horny teens.

Gemma's favorite desk accessories for many
years were a circular wooden token, better known as a 'round tuit,' and a slip
of paper from a fortune cookie proclaiming her a lover of words; some day she'd
write a book. All it took was a transfer to the United Kingdom, the lovely
English springtime, and a huge dose of homesickness to write her first novel.
Once it was completed and sent off with a kiss, even the rejections addressed
to 'Dear Author' were gratifying.

After returning to America, she spent a
number of years as a copywriter, dedicating her skills to making insurance and
the agents who sell them sound sexy. Eventually, her full-time job as a writer
interfered with her desire to be a writer full-time and she left the world of
financial products behind to pursue an avocation as a romance author.

my very good friend, Matthew W. Harrill to tell us a bit about himself and his book, Hellbounce: The ARC Chronicles Part 1.

~~~~

Matthew W Harrill was born in Bristol in May 1976, during
what was referred to in the United Kingdom as 'that long hot summer'. Growing
up in the town of Yate, he lived with his parents, sister and numerous pets,
attending 'The Ridge Junior School'.

At age 11, he was lucky enough to gain a place at Bristol
Grammar School, a respected establishment in the city for over 450 years.
Following the conclusion of his schooling, and picking up A-levels in Biology,
Geography and Economics, he attended the University of Southampton where he
received a 2:1 Honours Degree in Geology following three years study.

Matt has had various jobs over the years. Barkeep, labourer,
cleaner, commercial motor insurer. The jobs that have become most important
were the simple shop floor assistant at Tesco, since it is where he met his
partner of 20 years (and wife of 11) Tricia, and the current job at Xerox where
he has been implementing stock option and share plans for over a decade. The
latter has allowed the bills to be paid so that he can write.

The writing began with a short story in 1999 that expanded
continuously until it took on a life of its own and became 'The Focus Stone',
book 1 of an Epic Fantasy series entitled 'The Tome of Law'. A second book,
'The Path of Dreams' was completed and released, and then for various reasons,
came a break in writing with the third installment 'The Pages of Consequence'
only half finished (and set to remain so unless his publisher REALLY pesters
him).

In February 2012, a thought hit Matt: 'What if Hell actually
did freeze over?'. It was a nagging thought, more of an epiphany. He pursued
this thought tenaciously, bouncing ideas off of his friend and mentor, the NY
Times Bestselling author and Writers of the Future competition judge David Farland
(The Runelords) until a 2 hour brainstorming session ended up with a seriously
workable idea.

Ten months of research later, Hellbounce was ready to be
written. A year of writing during lunch breaks and bus journeys resulted in a
manuscript that was picked up by pure chance by Tabatha (Faith) Bartow of Heart
Powered Publishing, and the contract was signed in November 2013. As of May
2014, the sequel 'Hellborne' has been completed, and Hellbounce was released to
Amazon on May 30th 2014, with Hellborne to follow shortly. The third
installment, 'Hellbeast' is in research phase.

In addition to David, Matt is always thankful to know the
British author Juliet E McKenna, who has helped him countless times. He is a
fan of fantasy, loving Robert Jordan's 'Wheel of Time' series. He also has a
lot of time for the truly bizarre horror of H P Lovecraft, citing this as an
influence on his work. He also cites the fictional author 'Hank Moody' as an
influence.

Matt currently lives in the town of Chipping Sodbury, on the
edge of the Cotswold Hills, with his wife and 4 children.

Blurb

As a psychologist in a prison hospital, Eva Ross had always
dealt with her share of sinners. The corrupt, the insane, their minds were all
hers to unlock. But when those around her, those she trusted with her life
start to exhibit the same characteristics, she is forced to turn to a stranger,
a man whose name she is incapable of even remembering, for sanctuary.

Follow Eva as she crosses continents to unlock the answers,
and her eventual destiny.

Excerpt

Eva woke
to the sound of the television churning out early morning commercials. She
sighed.

“Another
morning, another hotel.” It seemed to her that since Worcester, she had lost
all sense of identity. Not all of that had been because of the anonymity that
radiated from Madden, but it had had an effect. With the revelations in her
life, she had had no choice.

Throwing
on some clothes, Eva opened the curtain and delighted in what Madden had
promised would be a spectacular view. The Chattanooga National Park, dominated
by the majestic Lookout Mountain lay in front of her. Forests at the base led
to scrub and tree-laden slopes, with the grey behemoth dominating the middle.
Even from this far away, it made Eva feel insignificant.

It was
not the first time in the past few days she had felt that way. Since waking up
in the shadow of Mount Rogers a few days ago, their travel had been bordered by
mountains the whole way. Even when Madden had insisted they detour to stop at
an old friend’s house in Knoxville, it turned out to be the grandest of
mansions. Then the friend had insisted that despite Eva’s urgency, they take a
trip into the Smoky Mountains. She could not avoid feeling small and out of
control.

As if to
remind her of what she could not control, Jeanette Gibson appeared on the
screen. Eva had not seen any news in the past few days, a fact for which she
was as thankful for as being free from apparently resurrected antiquities. She
decided to watch.

“Welcome
to a special ABC World News report. I'm Jeanette Gibson. Today's story: The
ongoing unrest in North Eastern America and its wider implications across the
globe.

First, a
naked man has been shot and killed in Boston, Massachusetts. Harold Fronhouse,
having shed all of his clothes, surprised the owner of a local bar, beat him to
death with his bare hands, and was feeding on him when he was cornered by
police. He was shot trying to escape the scene of the crime. Daniel Collier,
his victim, was pronounced dead at the scene by coroners. Fronhouse has been
linked to a series of cannibalistic attacks in the state, ranging over the past
few days to his release from an asylum by this woman: Dr. Eva Ross.”

Faith’s
spur of the moment vacation, meant to free her and boost her spirits, has left
her lost on the streets of Paris. And apparently, Paris is populated with
something more than just humans. Vampires, suave, seductive and oh so sexy, and
one such warrior vampire has set his sights on her.

When Soren
hears Faith’s terrified screams, he rushes in and saves her life without
considering the consequences. Two problems: one, she’s a human and clearly
aware of his vampire qualities, and two, the men who attacked her were not men
at all, but demons. Their target, his beloved underground city of Balinese. He
can never let Faith go home again, but can she learn to love his people...love
him?

Jen Colly is the rare case of an author who rebelled against
reading assignments throughout her school years. Now she prefers reading books
in a series, which has led her to writing her first paranormal romance series The
Cities Below. She will write about anything that catches her fancy, though
truth be told, her weaknesses are pirates and vampires. She lives in Ohio with
her supportive husband, two kids, one big fluffy dog, and four rescued cats.

Today I have the phenomenal Desiree Holt on my blog. I'm a huge fan of Ms. Holt so I'm super excited to hear everything about her new release, Finding Julia, including juicy character backgrounds!

Blurb

Sometimes life is not fair. For Julia Patterson meeting
Luke Buchanan opened the door to a new life and brought her to life as a woman.
In his arms she learns for the first time how real passion and emotion can
enrich your life. He claims her body with the pleasure of erotic sex and his
heart with unrestricted love. But Fate was laughing at Julia, just as she is
about to step over the threshold into a wonderful new life. When her
almost-ex-husband Charles is diagnosed with a fatal heart condition her divorce
is put on hold along with the rest of her life. Turning her back on Luke and
the intense passion and emotion they shared is the most difficult thing she’s
ever done. But Julia has a secret, one that Charles has discovered and uses
like a club. Thirteen years later when Luke walks back into her life the
passion and emotion are just as explosive as ever. Will they finally have their
chance at happiness or will her secret destroy it forever?

Finding Julia Background

Julia’s
background

She came from a middle class family with a
domineering father and a mother who spent her life trying to please him. Her
father, an accountant who came from a financially strapped background, always
ascribed to a higher place in society than he was able to achieve and put them
in a precarious financial position trying to “keep up with the Joneses.” They
moved several times in is effort to “be someone,” sometimes to a better
neighborhood, sometimes to a smaller house in a “good” neighborhood,” as their
finances fluctuated. He was very
dictatorial with both Julia and her mother and controlled both of their lives
as much as possible. He agreed she should go to college where she could “meet a
wealthy man and get married and put us all in a better situation.” She met
Charles, who swept her off her feet, treated her with care and made her feel
special. She was vulnerable, unsure of herself, and Charles, the vulture,
picked up on that. She saw with Charles the opportunity to create the loving
family she’d never had. To treat her children with love and respect and create
a strong family structure. It wasn’t until after they were married and the
twins were born that she realized she not only hadn’t gotten away from the trap
her life had been but fallen into a worse one. She had thought when she met
Charles he was the key to her finding herself, having a happy marriage and a
strong family with a lot of love. And maybe when the children were a little
older, a career.

The wives of Charles’s friends disdained her as an
outsider to their circle, his parents were no warmer to her than they were to
their own son. In their circles nannies raised children until they were shipped
off to boarding school, the husbands made a great deal of money and had
discreet affairs and the wives satisfied themselves with gossip, alcohol and
society functions. Not an environment Julia could fit into.

They say women marry men like their father’s and
unfortunately for Julia that’s exactly what she did. If not for her friends
Claire, her college roommate who remained her friend, she would be virtually
isolated, since her parents live far away and she seldom sees them. When she
does, her father is still the same bully he always was, just like Charles. She
has created her own nightmare.

Charles’s
background

A clone of his father, he grew up in typical
wealthy fashion—prep school college, law school. Belonged to the top
fraternity. Had the trappings of wealth his father believed were necessary,
just as he himself had them. The word privileged was created for them and their
friends. And like many of his friends, where no boundaries are set for
behavior, he had a cruel streak. Unfortunately for him the women he felt would
be his social equals but who would be malleable knew his reputation. When he
met Julia he fastened immediately on her vulnerabilities. She was pretty,
booksmart, more than presentable to the public and—most important for him—gave
off all the signals of someone who could be molded and controlled. He could
make her into the perfect wife for him. She would ask nothing, be grateful for
what he gave her and be presentable in public. He bided his time, playing the
charmer, until the twins were born and he had his son and heir. Then the
control freak came out and stayed out. For Julia it was the nightmare of her
childhood all over again, but she did her best until the twins were six and
Charles began making plans to send them to boarding school (as he and his
friends had done) and to dictate every aspect of their lives. He was unprepared
for Julia to find some hidden spirit and begin to challenge him.

Rod

I am of two minds here for something that is behind
is over the top dedication to Charles.

1) In college he developed a bad gambling habit. Unfortunately he
was neither good nor lucky and ended up owing a lot of money to the wrong
people. He saw his life disintegrating, his future disappearing, his parents
cutting him off. When he used up all of his own resources, to save himself from
broken bones and/or death, he asked Charles for help. Charles tapped into his
trust fund to pay his debts and monitored Rod after that to make sure he didn’t
backslide. Rod has since gone n to be a successful lawyer, a partner in the
same firm as Charles, but he has never forgotten that Charles saved him from
certain disaster.

2) Rod is a closet homosexual. Charles is the only one who
knows and has kept his secret, shielded his activities and protected him all
his life. Even helped him pick out a woman to marry who would make few demands
on him, service as an icon of a society wife and leave him alone most of the
time.

3) A remote possibility and it may be too outrageous for this
story. Charles and Rod are both homosexuals, and have had a relationship since
they went away to boarding school together. It is their deep dark secret. While
Rod chose a wife that was part of their circle, one he could totally control,
Charles had to look elsewhere because his overt cruelty didn’t make him a good
catch despite all the money. He thought Julia too dumb to suspect anything and
if she did who would she tell? So their relationship carried on all these
years. He also was very much against the divorce. He saw the marriage as the
shield he and Charles needed for their relationship. Another wife might suspect
or question. When Charles has his heart attack, Rod is so beside himself he
becomes enraged with Julia. And when Charles dies, robbing him of the only
person he ever believed loved him, he is determined to have his revenge and
make sure she never has a moment’s happiness.

Next stage

Julia’s illegitimate child, proof of her lover,
sticks in Rod’s craw. Why should she have happiness when he has now been robbed
of his? He tells her after Charles dies that if she even tries to contact her
lover he will find out who it is and go after him. As a very powerful lawyer
with connections everywhere. He can make someone’s life miserable, so miserable
that it would be to the man’s advantage to save himself by breaking away from
her. He tells her she has no idea how easy it is for someone in his position to
frame someone for any kind of wrongdoing. By the time the truth emerged the
person would be ruined. Julia is frightened at the thought of what Rod’s power
and money can do. She can’t put Luke in that kind of situation. He’s already
survived a disastrous marriage and difficult relationships with his sons. He
doesn’t need any more grief in his life.

Why doesn’t Julia just take Charles to court to
force the divorce? Bright Ideas, the agency she owns with Claire, is the
boldest thing she has done to find herself, find who she is, not get lost in
the prison Charles has created for her. he hates it and denigrates it at every
opportunity. They are having mild success but as Charles continues to try and
block the divorce, he tells her that his law firm can destroy the business.
It’s very easy, he tells her, in the climate where he and his partners operate,
to start sly rumors, dirty their reputation, start rumors of shady business
practices, or that they are overcharging clients and falsifying invoices and
bills. If it were just her she might go to war, but she has Claire to think of.

Why is she so desperate to hold onto the house?
Because her own childhood was so unsteady. She moved so many times she didn’t
know where home actually was. She desperately wants to guarantee security for
her children, to have them grow up in the same place until they move out.

Also, when Rod comes to see her after Charles’s
death, he threatens her again, tells her if she doesn’t toe the line he will
have her declared an unfit mother, have the twins taken away from her.
Charles’s parents will get custody and then ship them immediately off to
boarding school. She’ll be lucky if she sees them twice a year.

His threats are reinforced every time she is at a
public event for business and sees him there also, making it a point to engage
one of her clients in conversation. Courtney, her child with Luke, is difficult
from the moment she is born. Julia struggles with the child’s behavior, which
escalates as she gets older. She resents being shunned by the elder Patterson,
although Andy and Beth tell her she’s really lucky. And maybe Courtney is just
a difficult, rebellious child despite Julia’s best efforts. (I know, I raised
one! LOL!) I can get rid of “brat”-Beth uses it as kind of a term of affection
but maybe we need to ditch it.

Excerpt

“Our
executive vice president is tied up in a meeting right now,” Howard whispered
as the executive staff filed in. “He’s the one who says yea or nay. He’ll join
us as soon as he can.”

Great. Would
he expect her to do it all over again for him?

She
sighed and began her presentation again.

It was
well into the afternoon and she was pulling out copies of the proposed budget
to distribute when the door to the boardroom opened quietly, and Julia’s
stomach dropped to the floor. She felt as if an electric surge slammed into
her, plucking at every one of her nerve endings.

The man
who silently took a seat at the end of the table wasn’t necessarily handsome,
but he was one hundred percent male. Liquid brown eyes were framed by the
thickest lashes she had ever seen on a man. She noticed the strong jaw and the
lines of character etched on an incredibly masculine face. Straight brown hair,
a hint of silver reflecting in the lights, was worn just a little long, giving
him a slightly rakehell look.

The
classic dark business suit barely concealed the power he radiated. More than
that, he exuded an aura of self, of authority, of comfort in his own skin few
men were able to attain. She could think of only three words to describe him.
Dark. Edgy. Dangerous. In her entire thirty years, no man had ever affected her
the way this man did. Certainly not Charles. She clamped down on her reaction,
forbidding herself to let her thoughts wander into forbidden territory. As
she’d learned, her judgment where men were concerned left a great deal to be
desired.

She
struggled to pick up the threads of what she’d been saying, her brain suddenly
addled, and her hands unsteady. It took every ounce of personal discipline to
keep focused on her presentation.

My great friend, Vicki Ballante has just released her new book, At Second Glance and I'm happy to help her share it with you. There's a hot excerpt too and don't forget to click on the Rafflecopter link at the end of the post for a chance to win a $20 Amazon gift voucher!

Blurb:

singles site, she connects with the perfect guy. Funny, sexy, sensitive. When
he suggests they meet, excitement compels her to say yes.

experiment and learn. But when he happens across his ex, all his plans fly out
the window.

Will Merryn learn
to relax and have fun without giving her heart? Can Kirk forget the past and
become the man he longs to be?

Excerpt (Erotic – Only for 18+)

While the warm spray fell on her, he came up behind her, his male
form tight against her. She gave a shaky sigh, longing rising within her again.
He pressed his erection against her backside cheeks and eased in between them.
She liked the sensation of pressure against her butt, teasing her crack. Was
she ready to explore this?

“Tell me if you wish for me to stop.”

“Okay.”

He kissed the back of her neck, the roughness of his slight stubble
sending shivers down her spine. She arched her neck, and his cock hardened,
entering her crack, enticing her. She twisted under his touch, the water making
them slick and smooth against each other. Their bodies writhed together, and
she spun around for him to put his dick into her. Her wet breasts rubbed his
chest. He gave her a tentative kiss, tasting her mouth with his tongue. Fire
shot into her belly as their tongues connected, but he didn’t thrust into her
yet. As he slicked his torso against her nipples roughly, tingles of pleasure
made delirium take over. Every part of her sexuality thrilled.

“Wait.” He stepped out of the shower, dripping wet puddles on a path
to the room. He came back with another condom.

Her body was impatient. How could she wait? He came back to her and picked
up where he left off, this time bringing his cock towards her. She had to stand
on her tiptoes to take him inside her. With the moisture of the shower, he sank
in with ease, the angle sending shards of pleasure through her core. He thrust
gently at first, then more fervently. She could do nothing but groan as she climaxed,
the sound of Kirk’s moans matching hers, his body thrashing against hers.

Exhausted, she soaped herself with her back to him, unable to face
Kirk yet. She felt almost embarrassed at the way her wanton behavior took over.

Would he know how long she had wanted this? How she wished she had
given them more of a chance? Or how much she still needed him? Could he know she’d
dreamed about him at night in her sleep? Upon waking up, she’d regarded those
dreams as crazy remnants of a disturbed marriage.

He picked up a facecloth and foamed it with soap. He rubbed it down
her back, arms, legs, and derriere, all the while touching her gently with his
body. Oh, how good his touch felt. Why couldn’t he have done this before, when
she really needed it? The intimacy brought tears to her eyes, clogging her
throat.

His reached his soaped hands around and cupped her breasts. She
sighed with contentment. She’d needed his touch, his hands upon her in a
perfect combination of firmness and gentleness. He showed no impatience or
roughness except at their height of passion. Instead giving off all warmth and
fire and sweet pleasure.

Was it the wretched wedding ring that had wrung out all the passion?
Or had she changed? And he? There were no solid answers. She’d promised herself
there wouldn’t be any emotional attachment. She had to leave before she wanted
to stay the whole night. Without giving away her sudden panic, she stood under
the spray to rinse, stepped out, grabbed a towel, and dried herself. While he
soaped himself, she dressed and sat on the couch to wait for him, rubbing her
hair with her fingertips to take out the intense moisture. Panic rose in her
throat.

“Hi.” He came to the room, his hair glistening, his face relaxed,
and a shy grin on his face.

A twinge of nausea ran through her. What had she just done? She’d
made love to Kirk, her ex-husband, twice in one night, and had intimate contact
in the shower. She’d bared a very personal need and part of her soul to the man
she’d grown to hate years ago. He would expect more. His tenderness a few
minutes ago had indicated that. She wasn’t ready for more. She’d already given
him a part of her heart again. A part he could wring into a hurtful ball.

However, there is one woman he can never forget, who must be given a chance to
change, to accept her heart and his.

Arianne Farrell is just as dangerous and intoxicating as her power. Imprisoned
in an ancient stone dance more than a thousand years ago, her only chance at
freedom from the spell is through love—a love she denied. When Devin asks for
her aid to save another from imminent death, she realizes there is more at
stake than just her freedom or her heart.

About the Author: Brynna Curry was born south of the
Mason-Dixon Line. After living all over the southern states, she finally landed
in North Alabama where she lives with her husband and their three children.
Growing up, books fueled her dreams and imagination, ultimately becoming her
salvation during the hardest times in her life.Writing is her passion, but she
enjoys the fun of sharing those stories with others by reviewing books and
working in publicity.

When she isn’t writing or promoting, she’s often
found haunting the library for new books to read or just spending an quiet
evening at home with Jackie watching old westerns on TV. Although her wizards,
shifters and vampires are as real to her as anyone, she insists love is the
truest magic and with it every day is another wonderful adventure.
